Game of Thrones Seasons 7-8
About to hit the 5000 post mark on the old thread, the first season 7 trailer today seems like the right time to start the final Game of Thones thread.
I'm going back to the original rules pre-2015. I don't think we need supervision or bannings. Just don't be a dick. Post anything you find online that hasn't aired yet inside of spoiler tags. That's pretty much it. I think we can all handle that... For future us, 2015 thread is here: Link Last edited by keg in kc; 06-21-2017 at 10:48 AM.. |

Not really. The Holy Roman Empire elected its Emperors and the electors, the most powerful kingdoms in the political alliance, soon found it was to their advantage to elect the weakest among them as Emperor.

What I'm saying is that it makes sense for a king to project strength during or after conquest (like Aegon with his dragons) or a coup (like Robert Baratheon), but since Bran was democratically elected, strength is not a necessary trait. Not to mention the fact that Bran actually might be the most powerful person in the story anyway. |

Really, we just need more nudes of the Khaleesi.

It seems to me that knowing exactly what everyone has done and will do in the future would be a skill more valuable than a great battlefield leader. |

The problem is that just because the big war ended there are now hundreds of smaller wars as some kingdoms of Westeros have had a power vacuum for years. You think some noble who seized power in say the Stormlands is going to give it up to someone he has never met and knows jack about the land? Doubtful unless you present a clear reason for him to, say a large unified army to enforce the will of the king.

If only that was articulated instead of “who has a better story than Bran?”

I’d be interested to know how much of the ending was Martins. Obviously we all know he told them his ending, but how much did he say? Does he even know for sure and he just planned on Bran being there or?
I’d love for the last two seasons to be redone. It’ll never happen it’s just crazy the turn the greatest show of all time took after the books ended. |

Season 8 gave Kit Harrington PTSD for ****'s sake. Redo the damned thing*. Maybe even start it at Season 7 and work forward from there.
*yes, I know it won't happen |

Watching the actors' faces during the table read told us everything we needed to know about what they thought of it. Conleth Hill (Varys) looked so disgusted as he read his death scene that I thought he was going to spit on his script.

Two of the most intriguing characters from the beginning, Varys and Littlefinger, both got terrible, pointless endings
